★★★★★
Samaná stays planned by TAYA
HSB Hotel & Residences sits on the malecón in Santa Bárbara de Samaná, a 60-room hotel in the Dominican Republic where rooftop pools and views across the bay define the stay. Accommodation runs from double rooms to apartments, an all-inclusive option is available, and the setting is a bayfront boardwalk rather than a direct beach. Water sports, tours and happy hour fill the activity list, and dogs and cats are welcome for an extra charge.

The property has 60 rooms in three formats: double rooms, suites and apartments. Three pools, a fitness center with bay views, one restaurant and one bar cover the facilities. An all-inclusive option is available, and the hotel is family friendly.
The pace is easy and town-facing: you step out onto the malecón boardwalk rather than a private beach. Rooftop pools above the bay give the hotel its social center, and happy hour sets a relaxed evening rhythm. Rooms are modern, service is attentive, and the trade-off for the boardwalk location is no direct beach access.
An all-inclusive option is available for bookings that select it. Breakfast is served in American and à la carte formats. Water sports, tours and happy hour are available activities, and the fitness center with bay views is on site. Dogs and cats stay for an extra charge.
The 60-room inventory spans double rooms, suites and apartments. Named suite categories include the Junior Suite, Master Suite and Penthouse. Apartments expand the choice beyond conventional rooms and suites.
Three formats are available: double rooms, suites and apartments. The suite family includes the Junior Suite, the Master Suite and the Penthouse. Apartments are offered alongside the standard room categories.
Suite choices break into three named categories: the Junior Suite, the Master Suite and the Penthouse. Apartments form a separate accommodation format alongside double rooms and suites, completing the range within the 60-room property.
Dining is concentrated in one restaurant and one bar, with breakfast available American and à la carte. Three pools, a fitness center with bay views, water sports, tours and happy hour complete the facility mix.
HSB Restaurant is the only restaurant, serving American and à la carte breakfast. A single bar operates alongside it, and happy hour is part of the activity program. With 60 rooms to serve, the one-restaurant, one-bar format keeps everything consolidated on the malecón.
Three pools serve the property, and the rooftop pools with bay views are the signature experience. The fitness center looks out over the bay. Available activities include water sports, tours and happy hour. The hotel sits on the bayfront boardwalk with no direct beach, so the pools and the boardwalk carry the outdoor life.
